Step 2
Right-click 'References' in the Solution Explorer and choose 'Manage NuGet Package' in the popup menu.
Click 'Browse', search for 'spire.doc.cpp', and install it in your project.
Step 3
Write test code in the Console Application.cpp file,the code example below shows you how to create a simple Word file using Spire.Doc for C++.
- C++
#include <iostream>
#include <string>
#include "Spire/Doc/pch.h"
#ifdef DocumentProperties
#undef DocumentProperties
#endif
#define DocumentProperties DocumentPropertiesA
#include "Spire/Doc/Document.h"
#include "Spire/Doc/Documents/Paragraph.h"
#include "Spire/Doc/ExportOptions.h"
#include "Spire/Doc/Fields/TextRange.h"
#include "Spire/Doc/FileFormat.h"
#include "Spire/Doc/Section.h"
#include "Spire/Doc/ToPdfParameterList.h"
#include "Spire/Doc/common/h/Stream.h"
using namespace std;
using namespace Spire::Doc;
using namespace Spire::Doc::Common;
using namespace Spire::Doc::Documents;
using namespace Spire::Doc::Fields;
int main()
{
std::string outputFile = "HelloWorld.docx";
// Create a Word document
intrusive_ptr<Document> document = new Document();
// Add a new section
intrusive_ptr<Section> section = document->AddSection();
// Add a new paragraph
intrusive_ptr<Paragraph> paragraph = section->AddParagraph();
// Append text
paragraph->AppendText("Hello World!");
// Save the document file.
document->SaveToFile(outputFile.c_str(), FileFormat::Docx);
// Release resources
document->Close();
return 0;
}Install Spire.Doc for C++ by Manually Importing Libraries
Step 1
Download Spire.Doc for C++ package and unzip it somewhere on your disc to get the following files.
Step 2
Create a C++ project in Visual Studio 2022.
Step 3

Step 4
Modify .vcxproj project configuration:
<ItemDefinitionGroup>
<ClCompile>
<AdditionalIncludeDirectories>$(ProjectDir)include;$(ProjectDir)include\Spire\Doc;$(ProjectDir)include\Spire\Doc\common\h;%(AdditionalIncludeDirectories)</AdditionalIncludeDirectories>
<DisableSpecificWarnings>4244;4250;4267;%(DisableSpecificWarnings)</DisableSpecificWarnings>
<RuntimeLibrary>MultiThreadedDLL</RuntimeLibrary>
<UndefinePreprocessorDefinitions>_DEBUG;%(UndefinePreprocessorDefinitions)</UndefinePreprocessorDefinitions>
</ClCompile>
<Link>
<AdditionalDependencies>$(ProjectDir)lib\win-x64\SpireDocCpp.lib;%(AdditionalDependencies)</AdditionalDependencies>
</Link>
<PostBuildEvent>
<Command>if not exist "$(ProjectDir)Output" mkdir "$(ProjectDir)Output"
xcopy /Y /D "$(ProjectDir)lib\win-x64\*.dll" "$(OutDir)"</Command>
</PostBuildEvent>
</ItemDefinitionGroup>Step 5
Write test code in the Console Application.cpp file.
The code example above shows you how to create a simple Word file using Spire.Doc for C++.
